8月18日，中国记协在京召开了维护新闻工作者合法权益座谈会，同时宣布中国记协维护新闻工作者合法权益委员会正式成立。这个委员会由中央主要新闻单位、公检法司方面的新闻单位和政法部门的有关负责同志组成。会后，我们即约请一些委员就“维权”问题谈了自己的见解。 On August 18, the China Association of Record Workers held a forum in Beijing on safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of journalists and also announced the formal establishment of the China Association for the Safeguarding of Legitimate Rights and Interests of Journalists Committee. This committee is composed of the major news units of the central government, the news units in the public security and law department, and the responsible comrades of the political and legal departments. After the meeting, we immediately invited some members to talk about their own opinions on the issue of “safeguarding their rights.”
